So I’m switching channels on the dial a few minutes after 10 am and I flipped on to FOX’s The Live Desk for a minute so to see what they had on and what do I see? A big promo for Rush Limbaugh as the next guest and he’s going to get Hillary for saying he has a crush on her, using Bill to humiliate her. So Rush appears and recounts a story that happened at the Kobe Club in LA: he claims he left his date alone for a minute and Bill hit on her while he was distracted by the mayor of Los Angeles… just your basic Rush idiocy.
What came out of his mouth next stopped me in my tracks. Outside of his idiotic rants that are nothing more substantive than a teenager in heat, he has the audacity to smear a very prominent Latino politician by throwing out the “shoeshine boy” card…

Amanda at Think Progress caught it as well.
I understand now why Bill Clinton hit on my date about a year ago at the Kobe Club in New York. I was minding my own business and Clinton came in. And the short version is he used the mayor of Los Angeles to distract me, while hitting on my date. […]
He came over three or four times, had Ron Burkle with him and the mayor of Los Angeles, who I thought was either the shoeshine guy or a Secret Service agent.
He compares LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to a shoeshine guy. He can’t help himself, he probably doesn’t even realize how offensive that is. l’d like to ask Rush if he had a legal prescription with him at the Kobe for Viagra, don’t you think? It’s a fair point since he’s talking about going out with a date and he was arrested because of those little blue pills. <snark>
No Trackbacks To “Limbaugh calls LA’s Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa a “Shoe Shine Boy or Secret Service Agent”“
Limbaugh is a bloated gas bag…no doubt.
But we really have bigger fish to fry here at C&L.
Funny, every time I look at Rush’s picture, I think it’s a story about a child molester
Comedian Rush Limbaugh makes a funny.
what a putz
videos aren’t working today. When are you guys going to learn to use flash video? I live in soCal.. i’ll drive up and show you!
Was his date a 14 year old Dominican boy?
how long are we going to have to tolerate
this bigoted racist? he alone is setting
the country back 100 yrs.
Rush Limbaugh is a pedophile. Spread the news.
rush knows that he’s offensive.
I really don’t get it. It’s like giving the drunkest, most obnoxious loser in the bar the attention he is desperately seeking. This fat, nasty, fuck has no credibility with intelligent, fair minded people.
Limbaugh’s just jealous, because Antonio can actually see his shoes when he bends down.
Nope, won’t listen to him. He’s nothing more than a shock jock. Like so many other egomaniacs, it’s all about him. How he gets away with the things he says is beyond me. If he had said the exact words that Imus said that time, I doubt it would have even caused a ripple in the media. That’s the part I don’t understand.
So did rush’s date run, not walk out the building with Bill Clinton? If I was stupid enough to be his date and Bill Clinton ‘REALLY DID WALK UP’ and ask me out, rush would never see me again.
pissed off patricia @ 12:
Maybe he gets drugs for the station manager.
Republicans are bigoted, knuckle-dragging sub-humans. Not news at all but we do need to keep reminding people.
K. Trout @ 8:
Any thread concerning this self loathing tub of shit should begin with “Pedophile Rush Limbaugh”.
Pedophile-Rush Limbaugh appearing on faux to spew his reich-wing hate on the reich-wing propaganda station….how “fair and balanced” of them.
Also worthy of note in this article: the accusation that Bill Clinton “hit on my date”.
Isn’t it weird how these guys (not just Limbaugh, but pretty much all of the rightie pundits) are still obsessed with Bill’s sexual appetites, years after the Monica thing and the Starr Report? Clinton’s 62 years old now and has a bad heart, yet they’re all still gossiping about his libido like a bunch of awkward 13 year old boys. It’s pathetic.
Mere envy and insecurity, I’d say.
Rush is awesome, I think we should all be gay together!
Rush Limbaugh touched me where my bathing suit covers. If you have an anatomically correct doll, I can show you in detail.
Outrageous!! What a demeaning comparison! Holding up someone who makes an honest living next to a politician! Oh, the humanity!
So, has anyone polled shoeshine guys to see how upset they are at being compared to politicians? I can see a class action lawsuit against this unwarranted slur! Somebody call Gloria Allred!
I don’t consider Antonio Villaraigosa fit to even shine my shoes.
Spending is up, taxes are too, money is misappropriated and
above all LA is sinking even further into the third-world.
Here’s the guy I like for our next mayor -
http://WalterMooreForMayor.COM/
I knew Rush’s story had to be bogus right from the start…Rush on a date?! I mean really…total fabrication.
Chris Wallace: Governor… The left wing of your party is in a snit, over all these Democrats appearing on FOX. In fact, the head of MoveOn.org had this to say about Democrats on Fox: “It legitimizes a right-wing network that is going to use that celebrity to smear them—the Democrats–in the general election.” He and the head of the DailyKos are using words about you guys showing up here as “weak”, “idiotic”, “stupid”, how do you respond to the left wing?
Quite apart from Limbaugh’s typically offensive racism,I’m always struck by the utter disrespect,the pettiness this so called “patriot” shows for the office of the president.This chest beating flag waver refers to the former president as “Clinton” not “Mr Clinton” or even the “former president”.”My President right or wrong” -unless he’s a so-called Liberal then all bets are off.Limbaugh’s America.
The unanswered question is, who the fu*k would go out with this guy? Jeez, talk about a desperate woman. She is so desperate that she would date Rush yet she is attractive enough to get the attention of President Clinton?
Just when you think Limpballs couldn’t get any lower. I still see him mimicking Michael J Fox before the 2006 elections. He makes me sick to my stomach. How many idiots listen to this cretin?
When I think of Rush on a date, I think of a picture I once saw of J. Edgar Hoover with Shirley Temple.
Limbaugh is just in this for the money. No way to really be that stupid, is there?
A racist, pro-fascism talking head on FOX NEWS?
ZOMG. How shocking!
I think I saw this in Goodfellas, I recall it doesn’t turn out to good for the guy calling someone a shoe-shiner.
johnnypunchclock @ 20:
Pedophile Rush tried to play “hide the tiny banana” with me.
The best date I can think of for Rush would be Ann Coulter. And I would be fine with that if they were each spayed and neutered first.
The only ones still listening to that clown.
…The Crooks ( for amusement ) and the uninformed.
Speaking of crooks…

Annoyed Canuck @ 28:
You must mean “Spanky” (literally) from the “Little Rascals”.
Rush with a date? No doubt another drug-induced hallucination.
doctormidnight @ 31:
LOL.
I never could stand Limbaugh, I first heard him in the early-90s while working for a housing contractor who liked to have him on - still can’t stand him and I avoid him, his voice, his thoughts whenever possible. However, your title is:
Limbaugh calls LA’s Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa a “Shoe Shine Boy or Secret Service Agent”
But, the story states:
“… thought was either the shoeshine guy or a Secret Service agent.”
I don’t want to nitpick (well, I guess I kinda do), but since “boy” is definitely a loaded term when it comes to using it in regard to minorities - sure, mostly regarding black/african-americans, but you can’t deny that plenty of narrow-minded folks don’t see the difference between that and any other minority - it seems like game-playing when you use it in the title, but he actually uses the word “guy”.
Again, I - in no way - am saying that he didn’t say something (else, again) sickening, but I’d prefer that those of us who like to live within reality don’t stoop to the same tactics that Rush and others like him use.
Matthews just brought up Rush’s Operation Chaos. Rush is no patriot, he is a destructive, arrogant, rich bully who deserves to have the plug pulled on his show.
Shoeshine guy… huh.. OK, Rush.. That’s about what I’d expect out of a fatass airhead who looks for all the world like the human personification of the old Hustler cartoon, ‘Chester the molester’…
Or maybe you’re just trolling to be some widestances next boytoy, top or bottom…………..P.S. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on Rush………………PFFT!!! JD
Shouldn’t his didiots be here defending him already?
pissed off patricia @ 33:
Hey I fixed that for you.
Rush, Rush, Rush Limbaugh!
He’s the Grand Poobah!
If you need a cyst removed
He will put you in the groove
If you need your pain to vanish
Take his pills, the ones most Spanish
If you want to mock the sick
Point and laugh at his limp dick
All hail the Grand Poobah!
He’s Rush, Rush, Rush Limbaugh!
++++
Last year I FOIA’ed Rushs’ Selective Service Record and received it.
He’s a liar about his deferments and a real A-1, Card Carrying American Chicken-Hawk ( probably both definitions describe him!)
He’s in the same league as Neil Boortz, Mitch McConnell,Ted Nugent, Saxby Chambliss, Tom Tancredo , all claimed deferments they lied about, or deceived to the Selective Service in order to escape serving in Vietnam!
But i thought Coulter was dating the Prince of Darkness.
P.D. @ 45:
Does Cheney’s wife know?
P.D. @ 45:
Cheney is married.
Viagra junkie regularly uses misogyny to attack women he dislikes. Why should anyone be shocked that he is using racism to insult politicians he does not like?
A minor quibble - with a blow up doll you DON’T need Viagra.
And with a live “date” Rush would more than likely need a couple bottles of rohipnol to keep her/it within his gravitational pull. (:>
How did Pedo-Rush get a 13 year old into a club anyhow?
He should be fired over comments about violence at the Democratic National Convention and giving aid and comfort to those who would use violence and terrorism a voice of like-minded ideas on national radio. His racism has been well documented. If this is a joke it’s not a very good one, It clearly shows how stupid top conservative minds are, which reaffirms what we already knew.
Oh dear God, Rush on a date? That conjures up a vision almost as bad as Coulter in the missionary position, with those gigantic feet flailing in the air. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.
Yeah…..well, if I was the “shoeshine guy” I’d be pissed!
doctormidnight @ 42:
Um thanks, I think. Now I have a mental image that even 409 can’t remove.
Just a quick question here. Where was bush today and why did Laura give the press conference about aid to Myanmar?
Rush caught in another lie?
Supposedly Bill CLinton was hitting on his date; yet, Rush has a girlfriend.
Either Rush is out screwing around on his girlfriend or he is degrading his girlfriend by refering to her as “my date”, or he is lying his @ss off again.
